(a) Before operating, the flight crew member shall have received CRM training, appropriate to his/her role, as specified in the operations manual. (b) Elements of CRM training shall be included in the aircraft type or class training and recurrent training as well as in the command course. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM - Training environment CRM training should be conducted in the non-operational environment (classroom and computer-based) and in the operational environment (flight simulation training device (FSTD) and aircraft). Tools such as group discussions, team task analysis, team task simulation and feedback should be used. Whenever possible, classroom training should be conducted in a group session away from the pressures of the usual working environment, so that the opportunity is provided for flight crew members to interact and communicate in an environment conducive to learning. 36. Computer-based training should not be conducted as a standalone training method, but may be conducted as a complementary training method. Whenever practicable, parts of the CRM training should be conducted in FSTDs that reproduce a realistic operational environment and permit interaction. This includes but is not limited to line-oriented flight training (LOFT) scenarios. CRM principles should be integrated into relevant parts of flight crew training and operations including checklists, briefings, abnormal and emergency procedures. 37. 38. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Management system CRM training should address hazards and risks identified by the operator’s management system described in ORO.GEN.200. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Competency-based Whenever practicable, the compliance-based approach concerning CRM training may be substituted by a competency- Page 9 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 10 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria based approach such as evidence-based training. In this context, CRM training should be characterised by a performance orientation, with emphasis on standards of performance and their measurement, and the development of training to the specified performance standards. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Contracted CRM training If the operator chooses not to establish its own CRM training, another operator, a third party or a training organisation may be contracted to provide the training in accordance with ORO.GEN.205. In case of contracted CRM training, the operator should ensure that the content of the course covers the specific culture, the type of operations and the associated procedures of the operator. When crew members from different operators attend the same course, the CRM training should be specific to the relevant flight operations and to the trainees concerned. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Automation and philosophy on the use of automation (i) The CRM training should include training in the use and knowledge of automation, and in the recognition of systems and human limitations associated with the use of automation. The operator should, therefore, ensure that the flight crew member receives training on: 39. (A) the application of the operations policy concerning the use of automation as stated in the operations manual; and 40. (B) system and human limitations associated with the use of automation, giving special attention to issues of mode awareness, automation surprises and over-reliance including false sense of security and complacency. (ii) The objective of this training should be to provide appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes for managing and operating automated systems. Special attention should be given to how automation increases the need for crews to have a common understanding of the way in which the system performs, and any features of automation that make this understanding difficult. (iii) If conducted in an FSTD, the training should include automation surprises of different origin (system- and pilot- Page 10 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 11 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria induced). AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Monitoring and intervention Flight crew should be trained in CRM-related aspects of operation monitoring before, during and after flight, together with any associated priorities. This CRM training should include guidance to the pilot monitoring on when it would be appropriate to intervene, if felt necessary, and how this should be done in a timely manner. Reference should be made to the operator procedures for structured intervention as specified in the operations manual. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Resilience development CRM training should address the main aspects of resilience development. The training should cover: 41. GM5 ORO.FC.115 (i) Mental flexibility Flight crew should be trained to: (A) understand that mental flexibility is necessary to recognise critical changes; (B) reflect on their judgement and adjust it to the unique situation; (C) avoid fixed prejudices and over-reliance on standard solutions; and 42. (D) remain open to changing assumptions and perceptions. (ii) Performance adaptation Flight crew should be trained to: (A) mitigate frozen behaviours, overreactions and inappropriate hesitation; and (B) adjust actions to current conditions. See GM5 ORO.FC.115 for more details. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 43. CRM – Syllabus – Surprise and startle effect CRM training should address unexpected, unusual and stressful situations. The training should cover: (i) surprises and startle effects; and Page 11 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 12 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria (ii) management of abnormal and emergency situations, including: (A) the development and maintenance of the capacity to manage crew resources; (B) the acquisition and maintenance of adequate automatic behavioural responses; and (C) recognising the loss and re-building situation awareness and control. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Cultural differences CRM training should cover cultural differences of multinational and cross-cultural crews. This includes recognising that: (i) different cultures may have different communication specifics, ways of understanding and approaches to the same situation or problem; 44. (ii) difficulties may arise when crew members with different mother tongue communicate in a common language which is not their mother tongue; and (iii) cultural differences may lead to different methods for identifying a situation and solving a problem. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Operator’s safety culture and company culture CRM training should cover the operator’s safety culture, its company culture, the type of operations and the associated procedures of the operator. This should include areas of operations that may lead to particular difficulties or involve unusual hazards. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Case studies (i) CRM training should cover aircraft type-specific case studies, based on the information available within the operator’s management system, including: 45. 46. (A) accident and serious incident reviews to analyse and identify any associated non-technical causal and contributory factors, and instances or examples of lack of CRM; and Page 12 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 13 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria (B) analysis of occurrences that were well managed. (ii) If relevant aircraft type-specific or operator-specific case studies are not available, the operator should consider other case studies relevant to the scale and scope of its operations. AMC2 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Single pilot For single-pilot helicopter operations with technical crew, AMC1 ORO.FC.115 should be applied. For single-pilot operations other than those specified in (a), AMC1 ORO.FC.115 should be applied with the following differences: (1) Relevant training Training should cover the relevant CRM training, i.e. initial operator’s training, the operator conversion course and recurrent training. (2) Relevant training elements 47. CRM training should focus on the elements specified in Table 1 of (g) of AMC1 ORO.FC.115 which are relevant to single-pilot operations. Therefore, single-pilot CRM training should include, among others: (i) situation awareness; (ii) workload management; (iii) decision-making; (iv) resilience development; (v) surprise and startle effect; and (vi) effective communication and coordination with other operational personnel and ground services. (3) Computer-based training Notwithstanding (a)(3) of AMC1 ORO.FC.115, computer-based training may be conducted as a stand-alone training method.

The NOTECHS framework consists of four main categories: (1) Cooperation: Cooperation is the ability to work effectively in a crew. (2) Leadership and managerial skills: Effective leadership and managerial skills help to achieve joint task completion within a motivated, fully functioning team through coordination and persuasiveness. 61. (3) Situation awareness: Situation awareness relates to one’s ability to accurately perceive what is in the flight crew compartment and outside the aircraft. It is also one’s ability to comprehend the meaning of different elements in the environment and the projection of their status in the near future. (4) Decision-making: Decision-making is the process of reaching a judgement or choosing an option. (b) Each of the four categories is subdivided into elements and behavioural markers. The elements are specified in Table 1 of Page 19 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 20 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria GM6 ORO.FC.115 with examples of behavioural markers (effective behaviour). The behavioural markers are assessed by a rating scale to be established by the operator. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 Assessment of CRM skills Operators should establish procedures, including additional training, to be applied in the event that flight crew members do not achieve or maintain the required CRM standards. Operator conversion training (a) In the case of aeroplane or helicopter operations, the flight crew member shall complete the operator conversion training course before commencing unsupervised line flying: 62.

Crew members operating only performance class B aeroplanes may be assigned to flights on other types of performance class B aeroplanes during conversion courses to the extent necessary to maintain the operation. ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Amount of training The amount of training required by the FCM for the operator’s conversion course shall be determined in accordance with the standards of qualification and experience specified in the OM, taking into account his/her previous training and experience. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Ground training (1) Ground training should comprise a properly organised programme of ground instruction supervised by training staff with adequate facilities, including any necessary audio, mechanical and visual aids. Self-study using appropriate electronic learning aids, computer-based training (CBT), etc., may be used with adequate supervision of the standards achieved. However, if the aircraft concerned is relatively simple, unsupervised private study may be adequate if the operator provides suitable manuals and/or study notes. 70. 71. 72. (2) The course of ground instruction should incorporate formal tests on such matters as aircraft systems, performance and flight planning, where applicable. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Emergency & safety equipment training and checking Emergency and safety equipment training should take place in conjunction with cabin/technical crew undergoing similar training with emphasis on coordinated procedures and twoway communication between the flight crew compartment and the cabin. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Emergency & safety equipment training and checking On the initial conversion course and on subsequent conversion courses as applicable, the following should be addressed: 73. 74. (i) Instruction on first-aid in general (initial conversion course only); instruction on first-aid as relevant to the aircraft type of operation and crew complement, including those situations Page 22 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 23 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria where no cabin crew is required to be carried (initial and subsequent).

(vi) Survival information appropriate to their areas of operation (e.g. polar, desert, jungle or sea) and training in the use of any survival equipment required to be carried. (vii) A comprehensive drill to cover all ditching procedures where flotation equipment is carried. This should include practice of the actual donning and inflation of a life-jacket, together with a demonstration or audio-visual presentation of the inflation of life-rafts and/or slide-rafts and associated equipment. This practice should, on an initial conversion course, be conducted using the equipment in water, although previous certified training with another operator or the use of similar equipment will be accepted in lieu of further wet-drill training. (viii) Instruction on the location of emergency and safety Page 23 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 24 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria equipment, correct use of all appropriate drills, and procedures that could be required of flight crew in different emergency situations. Evacuation of the aircraft (or a representative training device) by use of a slide where fitted should be included when the operations manual procedure requires the early evacuation of flight crew to assist on the ground. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training 75. Flight training should be conducted to familiarise the flight crew member thoroughly with all aspects of limitations and normal, abnormal and emergency procedures associated with the aircraft and should be carried out by suitably qualified class and type rating instructors and/or examiners. For specific operations, such as steep approaches, ETOPS, or operations based on QFE, additional training should be carried out, based on any additional elements of training defined for the aircraft type in the data in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 748/2012 (OSD), where they exist. Particular attention should be paid to the TASE in the conversion training programme. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training In planning flight training on aircraft with a flight crew of two or more, particular emphasis should be placed on the practice of LOFT with emphasis on CRM, and the use of crew coordination procedures, including coping with incapacitation. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training Normally, the same training and practice in the flying of the aircraft should be given to co-pilots as well as commanders. The ‘flight handling’ sections of the syllabus for commanders and co-pilots alike should include all the requirements of the operator proficiency check required by ORO.FC.230. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training Unless the type rating training programme has been carried out in an FSTD usable for ZFTT, the training should include at least three take-offs and landings in the aircraft.

AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – LIFUS The minimum flight sectors/hours should be specified in the operations manual and should be determined by the following: (i) previous experience of the flight crew member; 80. (ii) complexity of the aircraft; and (iii) the type and area of operation. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – LIFUS For performance class B aeroplanes, the amount of LIFUS required is dependent on the complexity of the operations to be performed. GM1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – LIFUS - Aeroplanes The following minimum figures for details to be flown under supervision are guidelines for operators to use when establishing their individual requirements: 81. (1) turbo-jet aircraft (i) co-pilot undertaking first operator conversion course: 82. (A) total accumulated 100 hours or minimum 40 flight sectors; (ii) co-pilot upgrading to commander: (A) minimum 20 flight sectors when converting to a new type; (B) minimum 10 flight sectors when already qualified on the aeroplane type. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 83. Operator conversion training – Passenger handling for operations where no cabin crew is required Other than general training on dealing with people, emphasis should be placed on the following: (1) advice on the recognition and management of passengers who appear or are intoxicated with alcohol, under the influence of drugs or aggressive; (2) methods used to motivate passengers and the crowd control necessary to expedite an aircraft evacuation; and Page 25 of 127 C OM-D Reference ICETRA FO 0100-02 08.11.2021 Page 26 of 127 OM-B Review checklist Item N° Reference Item A I Compliance Criteria (3) the importance of correct seat allocation with reference to aircraft mass and balance.
